Kabir asserted that he is “not working for anyone” and referred to the Supreme Court’s 2019 verdict on Ayodhya. He said the ruling “clearly stated that Ram was born where the Babri Mosque stood” and allotted that land for the Ram temple. He added, “In the second paragraph of the verdict, it is clearly stated that… 5 acres of land should be given for the Babri Masjid. The Uttar Pradesh Government has also given that land. But why has the Babri Masjid not been built there yet? None of the Muslims of India know the answer.”
